The father left Jacksonville to 60 TO
Texas on business, leaving mis- daughter
and Mrs. Cavalion behind, with the under
standing that the three were to meet in
New York soon. Then it was that the
CavallOn woman went with EFrsnceS to
MaypOrt, where she was taken seriously
and strangely i'll, and then returned to
Jacksonville, only TO die under cirCum-
stances that convince the mother that her
child fell g victim 10 the deep seated hate
! OF g desperate woman, who wanted all the
! attention and affection that Edward Lewis
! had to besto1.

in connection with her girls death, &nd

THE WASHINGTON PgsTOFFICE. n
The Democracy ut tho Capital Stirred Up
Over the Probable Coarss of the Presi-


Special 70 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. at the present
time the local Democracy is greatly
stirred up about the probable course OF
the President in filing the Washington
postotiice. The present incumbent Of the
office is Mr.. Frank Conger Of Michigan,
who is not only willing, but anxious, to
turn the Office over TO his successor. Il
is said, however, that the President has
decided TO make no charge in the office
for some time. There ere dozen local
candidates Tor the place, but il view OF
the fact that the President has, in nearly
every instance, selected his Washington
appointees from among the nom
resident Democracy, il is feared
that this plum Will 90 to an outsider.
! Among those said 20 have the ms de track
for this place ere O Michigan Democrat
named EGright and Mrs. Hancock, the
| widow of the DemOciatiC candidate for
! Tie presidency in 1850. The latest rGmOr
in c0nnec lion with the place is TO the
effect that the President will give II 10
! Mr.. Matthews Of Albany, whom he twice
nominated for recorder oi deeds OF this
district. Matthews is q c0lored Demo
Graf, and the President has been very
anxious TO reward him for party services.
He was not anxious enough i'll this direc-
ton 10 tender him the position OF post
master of albany. But then Albany
mas great many votes. Washing
ton has none and as g. consequence there
exists no valid reason why the postotlice
should not be filled by an outside col
ored Democrat. The bare suggestion that
Matthews may get the place mas caused
the greatest CONSERVATION among the
Democrats here end If ne should be ap-
p inted open rebellion may be expected
This cnice pays $1,000 year and is the
only desirable Chi;a still reE2inlrg in the

They Do Not Like the Crop Figures Made

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-Statisticisn
Dodge Of the Department of Agriculture
answers serious charge made agains,
the department by some southern i3ur-
nal to the effect that it has III s recent
report overcstimated the scresge of the
tobacco lesf crop. The result Of this, il
is said, is to keep prices down, and
wropgfully transfer MILLIONS OF money
from holders to consumers, from Ameri-
can producers &Id dealers to foreign
buyers. MIR. Dodge does not mince mat
tiers, but stands up to his estimate. He
said:
awe know that in some states the to.
bacco leaf acreage this year is much
smaller than last year, but We are quite
confident the reduction is not so large
as the critics claim. The estimate re-
ferred to, and which was published from
the Agricultural Department on July !,
puts the tobacco acreage in the several
tobacco states st from to so per cent
less than last year. We think that is
shout the figure.

Another Burglar Around.

Yesterday evening as Frank Bar
nett was returning home from the
shops at 5 p. m. he was accosted near
Keck's furniture factory by tram
pish looking individual, who wanted
to sell him some knives and sleeve
buttons. Young Barnett examined
the goods and making an appuint-
ment to meet the fellow at Mrs. Cur
rams, where he said he would stop,
went on home and informed his father,
acting Marshall Barnett. After sup
per Mr.. Barnett visited Mrs. Cur
rams and finding the man took him in
charge. He stated to the
marshal that he had bought
the goods at Washington from a boy
who was going east, and claimed that
he purchased one dozen knives for
eighty cents and ten pair of sleeve
buttons for forty cents. He admitted
that he believed the goods were stolen
at the time Of the purchase, but had
bought them In the presence of wit
nesses. Half a dozen of the knives he
had sold to a man at California, and
the balance he had. Marshall Ba,-
nett took him to the various stores
which have recently lost goods, but
as no one identified the goods the
prisoner was released. He claims to
be printer In search of work, and
says the boy had a number of other
articles, among which was some silk
handkerchiefs. Among the knives,
the man arrested had in his possession
was two tortoise shell handle "burg-
lar knives" with a pick and saw blade
and a short hook blade for cutting
holes. The articles are all of cheap
quality, but the fellow claimed that
the half dozen knives sold at Califor-
major s1.76 were worth So, and of SUI
perior quality.

Helping the Horses.

There was a genuine case of Irish
ingenuity, such as is commonly as
crlbed to the race in wit items, oc.
Cured yesterday. A couple of Irish
farmers from the north part of the
county were In town with team and
desired to take home an extra wagon.
To accomplish this rope was attach
ed to the tongue of the wagon, and
mounting the box of the other wagon,
one of the men held the rope while
the other one drove the team. Passing
up Missouri avenue, the hoodlums
had time jibing the outfit. "Why
don't you tie your rope to the rod %
called q passer.
''To the Divil wild We" said Pat,
"the horses have enough to do to pull
me and the one wagon"
When Clay street was reached the
hind wagon went into the gutter and
pulled the humane Pat from his place
to the ground.
ITO the Divil wild yer humanity, s"
he said, as he scratched the dirt from
himself, 1.-The team eau pull the two
wagons or leave them and I'll walk"
and tieing the wagons together, he
tr1dged on atoOt and the team went
on,
